HC Deb 27 November 1946 vol 430 c301W
Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Food if, in view of the hardships to certain classes of farmers, he will abolish all licences under the Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Division.

Mr. Strachey

I am not altogether clear what hardships the hon. Member has in mind. The licensing arrangements are still necessary to regulate the distribution of commodities which remain scarce.
